Patrick Fillnow

Dr. Patrick Fillnow is a board-certified internal medicine physician at Sojourn Direct Primary Care in Charlotte. He earned his medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in 2008 and completed his residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in 2011. He then spent the next decade practicing internal medicine at Atrium Health's Charlotte Medical Clinic and at Novant Health.

Growing frustrated with a system built around billing and rushed visits, he moved to direct primary care so he could give patients the time and attention he felt they deserved. His approach is warm and attentive. He takes real satisfaction in getting to know his patients and building treatment plans together rather than rushing through appointments.

A Pittsburgh native, Patrick played tennis at Furman University before medical school. He lives in the Charlotte area with his wife, Julia, and their four children.
